Equality and diversity issues feature significantly in the policies
and practices of all criminal justice agencies. Communities,
Identities and Crime provides a critical and refreshing perspective
on the most significant developments.Key areas featured in the book
include a critical focus upon: 'Race' relations legislation, 'race'
equality and criminal justice, particularly in the aftermath of the
Macpherson; Inquiry into the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence;
Gender, crime and victimisation, including criminal justice
responses to sexual and domestic violence; The increasing role that
faith communities play in community justice, particularly in a
post-September 11th 2001 context; Hate crimes committed against
individuals, motivated by prejudice towards the 'race'/ethnic,
religious, lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual (and other)
communities that they are perceived to belong to; and Community
engagement and community participation in criminal justice,
community cohesion and civil renewal.The book also includes a
broader theoretical focus, exploring key notions in relation to
identity theory and late modernity, highlighting social, cultural
and economic processes that impact upon identity constructions,
communities and belongingness. The book also raises important
theoretical and methodological issues that a focus upon social
identities poses for the subject discipline of Criminology. Clearly
written in an engaging style, the book is essential reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, criminal
justice, social policy, sociology, victimology and law. Criminal
justice practitioners will also find the book informative and
researchers will value its theoretical and policy focus.
